</font><font color="blue" class="small">( What is the correct process to start tractor? )</font>
I have the smaller version, a B1550, what a great tractor! To start it I have to preheat the glow plugs, usually no more than 10 seconds or so. It should rumble to life (it will be a little rough immediately upon starting), then smooth out. I let it run at slightly above idle speed for several minutes then slowly increase the rpm speed. If it doesn't start right away you might want to increase the preheat time by another 5-10 seconds.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( How do you preheat the glow plugs on this tractor. Is there a glow plug switch or is it done by pushing in the key as some of the Deere tractors? )</font>
On the B1550 you TURN the key until the red glow plug light lights up (red in color) and you hold the key in that position for the 10-15 seconds. You then turn the key all the way to start the tractor, hopefully! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
